celiaki
Celiac disease in Swedish is celiaki.
The term celiaki refers to the medical condition itself. If you are referring to the people who have the disease, you use the term celiakiker.
Did you know?
- Despite 'celiakiker' being the correct term, many Swedes use the more colloquial 'glutenallergiker' in casual conversation, even if it is medically imprecise.
- The term naturligt glutenfri is used in Sweden to distinguish between ingredients processed to remove gluten and those that never had it.
- If you are dining out, you might say 'Jag har celiaki' to be precise, but many Swedes simply say 'Jag tål inte gluten' to mean 'I cannot tolerate gluten'.
